Must-have items at IKEA are made more affordable

Cozy nights during the rainy season remind us to make our spaces brighter, comfortable and more organized. And with high inflation rate, increase in cost of daily living, Filipinos rethinking their spaces are looking for practical solutions.

With the IKEA principle of Democratic Design, IKEA Philippines is permanently reducing prices on 400 popular items by up to 20% starting August 19, making IKEA pieces for everyday life at home, more affordable.

IKEA Philippines Country Retail Manager Ricardo Pinheiro says, “In the Philippines, we know the importance of staying within one’s budget to make every peso count. That’s why we’ve permanently reduced our prices on 400 items—we want to side with the many and continue to support the Filipino way of life: practical, resourceful, and always centered on home.”

Pinheiro adds that IKEA has always been about good design for the many. “Affordability should never mean compromising on design. By lowering prices, we are aligning ourselves with the realities of the Filipino family: their homes are lived-in, shared, and built with care even on modest budgets. Good design should be within reach of everyone even in challenging times. Filipinos derive comfort and pride in their homes, and IKEA’s pricedown is here to support that.”

With the permanent lowering of prices, you get more for less. Here are five practical reasons for a home refresh with IKEA right now.

1. Rediscover the joy of clean spaces within budget

As the next half of the year unfolds, it’s time to reorganize, declutter, or revamp your study/work space at home, the Scandinavian way. IKEA makes it easy for you to rediscover the joy of living in a home that truly reflects who you are and who you want to become without breaking the bank. While decluttering can be challenging, the rewards are immediate: a sense of calm, clarity, and renewed energy that transforms the way you feel in your own space. The IKEA Malm single bed now comes at P9,999 from P11,990, a 17% price reduction, with space underneath for storage boxes—making it a smart choice for a condo studio or kid’s room. Pair this with the Utespelare gaming desk, now P7,999 from P8,990, a reduction of 10%.

2. The “ber” months are coming

August is often seen as a slower month before the “ber” months rush in with the parties, family visits, holiday hustle, and travels. We can all agree that Christmas in the Philippines is fun—but also a total chaos. Why not prep your home (and yourself) before it all begins? IKEA’s pricedown makes it fun and easy to get your space ready for both everyday living and festive celebrations. The kitchen is the busiest room during the holidays as well, so as early as now declutter the drawers with the Variera pot lid organizer in stainless steel (price reduced by 10%, P399 from P450); and get your powder room ready for guests with the Hornavan trolley (20% price reduction, P699 from P890).

3. Home refresh made easy

We all want to give our homes a fresh look, but a full renovation is just out of reach especially with rainy-day repairs to be made. What if your living room could feel brand new with updates that won’t stretch your budget? IKEA’s classic Poang armchair, which combines Scandinavian and Japanese furniture traditions, will soften your room with its birch veneer finish and bent silhouette (10% price reduction, P3,555 from P4,000).

4. A mental reset too

For many, the midyear season is a great opportunity to slow down, reassess, and mentally reset. Use this time to examine each space in your home and note what you love—and what you’d like to change. It’s not just about tidiness, it’s about creating a calm, intentional environment for your well-being. The Linanas sofa (5% price reduction, P13,999 from P14,990) is the perfect place to sit quietly with a book and take that pause.

5. Storage solutions that maximize your space

If you think you’ve accumulated too much in the first seven months of the year, think of what the next few months will bring: gifts, food, new clothes, and more school requirements for the kids. IKEA has long been known for its clever storage solutions because its designers understand at a visceral level the modern-day problem of not being able to let go of things. The Brimness chest (22% price reduction, P6,999 from P8,990) can help store the things you keep for sentimental reasons—and your shopping hauls.
